Melampo Floor Lamp

The Melampo Floor Lamp is a true chameleon: it masquerades as a standard floor lamp with a regular shade, but the shade can be pivoted about the bulb assembly, to completely change its look and the lighting effect. Melampo's adjustable diffuser, in pale grey (for grey version) or beige (for bronze version) silk and polycarbonate fiber blend, has an inner adjustment assembly in anodized aluminum. When the shade is rotated, the stem locks into a groove in the shade, allowing adjustment to full downward, 30° upward and full upward positions.

The Melampo Floor Lamp provides direct and indirect diffused incandescent or fluorescent lighting. The base is made of die-cast aluminum with an extruded aluminum stem in a matte aluminum grey or bronze powder coated finish. On/off foot switch on cord.

This is a great product and YLighting made it so easy to order it!We had been in the market for a long time for a sleeker/better standing lamp. I found this particular lamp at a store in Santa Cruz, and when I went back to buy a second one they said I would have to pay shipping. That's how I became a fan of YLighting. The lamp has several options for shedding light and when the shade is swiveled up toward the ceiling it casts a beautiful warm glow for the whole room. It is stylish, unobtrusive, sheds wonderful light and takes up very little space. I'm so glad we discovered it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Beautiful smart designThis lamp is really beautifully designed. It looks very sleek. The color is a little more grey/silver than expected but still great. Check the dimensions as I imagined it would be a little taller. The shade pivot is a brilliant concept and I alternate between the three options frequently, as the smart design makes it easy to do. It's also very sturdy. Great purchase, couldn't be happier. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Classy versatilityWe have the larger version of this lamp and love it. We get a lot of positive comments about it, so we decided to get this smaller version. We love it as well, since it appears to be a toatally different lamp when the shade is up, down, or tilted. I would advise trying to mach the light bulbs with the larger one so that they don't appear to be two different lamps. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Functionally great and good lookingThis is the primary light in a guest bedroom, and, it's design is perfect for that purpose. The three way positioning means that it can be used as a pedestal, reading, or, torchiere lamp. All in all, it will serve it's purpose well and for long, given the solid build of the lamp, the multiple functions it can serve, and the overall appearance. Packaging, delivery and assembly instructions were all very good and adequate for an individual to assemble it.
Why only 4 stars? For a lamp this pricey, the power cord doesn't fit into the pedestal groove. A small silicone/plastic lug in the groove to hold the wire in place would easily solve the problem and wouldn't cost anything. The foot switch that came with the lamp is cheap and easily gets twisted around by the power cord. A bigger, heavier foot switch, close to the pedestal would be a better design. (I just leave it on and use the wall switch to turn it on and off.) Considering the cost, this sort of attention to detail is not too much to expect or ask for. All the more so, considering this is an Italian design.

Shade Discolors Over TimeGreat Lamp for the first three to four years, but eventually the shade interior begins to yellow and not longer a brilliant white. $400+ to replace the shade. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is a great lamp with an adaptable design.It is simple and understated. It has clean lines and catches peoples eye when the shade is in the tilted position. It is a great lamp in all three positions. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
